My father-in-law ran the international terminal of LAX for a few years. He has quite a few interesting stories, but methinks nothing remotely connected to this series, and the type that you would think would fit more into some off-the-wall independant film. I'm sure they did good at making a lot of BS up and turning the terminals into the wild west. I can't say I'm even slightly curious to turn in and catch even part of the pilot episode for these shows. EP1 Plotline - baggage screening (or fill in some other airport task). Woo. Sigh. I think with all the reality shows the networks have forgotten how to tell a real story, or even try. At this rate we will start seeing shows about drive-thru fast-food joints in no time. Or how about Big Brother 666 'protected by the broadcast flag', ...anyone?
